I Thought It Would Be Funny

1. I'm so goddamned nearsighted that I can see their little faces and eyeballs perfectly clearly and thus greatly improve my accuracy

Our vengeance paladin, played by @motheatenscarf, is looking for her missing family, and she hatched a mad scheme to enact over downtime: rent the printing services of a weekly newspaper, print off a bunch of flyers (hand-drawing the horse herself), and instruct her bonded spirit steed to venture forth on a solo mission, racing across the realm like Shadowfax with his horseshoes of speed and lack of needing to eat or rest (being technically a spirit).

Today, a woman with a tiny chihuahua on her way past me somewhere in a hurry called out "I love your suspenders" and instead of my default "Thanks, they keep my pants up" which is accurate, but often taken as a joke, and not the ideal response to a compliment (which is to return it), I said "Thanks, I love your dog!" This is an improvement, but still fundamentally misses the point of actually returning a compliment. I didn't have long to take much in about her but a white lie like "I love your hair" or "That's a nice shirt" or something would not have been amiss. But no. I complimented the dog.

In my own campaign, I've gone largely with the 4th edition idea, and Celestial and Infernal are both *dialects* of Supernal. In-game, for obvious "I went to Catholic school" reasons, I represent both dialects with Latin. When called upon to have an NPC speak in their dialect, my pronunciation varies: Church Latin for Celestial and reconstructed Classical Latin for Infernal.

I keep seeing screencaps from the new(?) one they're doing, which has a deliberately retro 80s/90s style to it, which is charming, but the characters are also era-appropriately expressive, which is downright weird for what I remember of those characters. It's like they're entirely different people.

Currently in the middle of sloppy basecoats on my Locutarus Storm Squad and jump Champion, just need to not think about how they look *currently* and keep plugging away. Trust the process, right?
